Alex Jones launches new series “Reunion Hotel” at special screening

The premiere of new series Reunion Hotel saw Alex Jones return to Iscoyd Park where the programme was filmed.

Hosted by BBC Radio One DJ Sian Eleri last night (20 March), the event celebrated the launch of Alex Jones’ new series ahead of its broadcast next month.

In addition to an exclusive screening of the first episode, Alex took part in a Q&A panel along with executive producer Arwyn Evans, and two contributors from the programme; counsellor James Donaldson plus Stephen who was reunited with a brother he didn’t know existed until recently.

Stories across the series include a young woman meets the stranger who saved her life, secret siblings are found and reunited, while a 60s girl band reconnect with their favourite boy band 50 years on. Some check in to the Reunion Hotel seeking forgiveness, while others wish to say thank you or get the answers they’ve long needed to know.

Whether it’s an emotional meeting decades in the making or a first time encounter, Alex and her team of counsellors and hotel staff are there for them every step of the way to support them through what is likely to be a life-changing moment for everyone.

Alex Jones says: “Being back at Iscoyd Park to watch the first episode of Reunion Hotel was very special. This show is an emotional journey as we bring people together that are connected through an incredible story. Watching it with a room full of people, hearing them laugh and even get emotional, is what the show is all about.”

The five-part series, produced by Caernarfon based Darlun, is filmed at the hotel in north Wales and is based on the series Gwesty Aduniad originally developed and produced for S4C.
